HTTP was intended at least in part to replace FTP. It might make more
sense as a file transfer protocol. Maybe integrate a simple web server
into SLIRP layer instead of FTP?

Of course you would need some basic security like default the service to
being OFF, and once enabled defaulted to allowing connections from
localhost only.

Makes you wonder what else would be interesting besides some of the file
system one could expose through a default web page by QEMU. Things like:
whether in BIOS code, cpu utilization, a recent snapshot of the screen,
some basic things about processor mode, amount of RAM in use, perhaps
some control buttons like RESET, SUSPEND, PAUSE, partitions and %full,
etc.
